Testimonials:
"Lexi is a fantastic editor, and her professionalism exceeds expectations. She is open-minded in working with all book genres. While working with her on developmental, copy, and line editing, she thoroughly read my novel to provide constructive and transparent feedback that did not alter the story but enhanced it with a shared vision. She also provides detailed explanations of her feedback, accompanied by well-organized editorial commentary, which demonstrates the hard work she puts into collaborating with her clients to produce the best possible work. Her communication is excellent, and she consistently details her feedback, revisions, and reviews. She also provides a realistic timeframe that takes into account the author's release date. I look forward to working with Lexi on future novels; she is a gem!"
"After working on my novel for over seven years, I didn't know where to start looking for an editor, but I was lucky enough to find Lexi on Guru. If you're looking for a professional editor who knows what they're doing, I highly recommend her. She is dependable, insightful, and well-versed in literature. My novel would not be what it is today without her thorough understanding of grammar, spelling, sentence structure, story building, and pacing. I look forward to working with her again."
~ J.T. Buchanan, The Death Between Us
"It was important for me to find an independent editor who had both the mental resilience and the compassion to work with me on my memoir. From the start, Lexi showed that she was an open, kind, and understanding person. Throughout the editing process, she was very professional, attentive, and patient with me. Her connection to me and my manuscript prompted pivotal edits that improved the flow of my story. I would recommend Lexi for any challenge, as I know she can rise to it the same way she rose to mine!"
